This class is a foundational class that any student with no experience in speech and debate can take! Students will learn skills in four fundamental categories: limited preparation speaking, research-based speaking, acting, and debate. This class is great for students who are just starting out, are trying to build their confidence, or refine their speaking skills. After taking this class, students can take the Intermediate Speech and Debate Comprehensive, start the Debate Comprehensive, or move on to specialty classes. Our students love this class because it is a fun way to help them develop their writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills.
